_ four kinds of broad-leaved endives now described by Vilmorin.? 
_ The origin of the curled endives, of which Vilmorin describes 
_ twelve, I find difficult to trace. The peculiar truncate appear- 
ance of the seed-stalks is very conspicuous, and this feature 
would lead me to suspect that the type is to be seen in the 
_ Sens sativa of Lobel? (1576), but the resemblances, I must 
= confess, are quite remote. This is the Cichorium latioris foltt 
of Dodonzeus+ (1616). They were in English gardens as a 
e well-known sort in 1 778,5 and were named among seedsmen’s

E In 1885 a curled endive, at the New York Agricultural Ex- 
Periment Station, was crossed by lettuce-pollen. The crop of 
1886 showed a plant resembling the lettuce in leaf, but with the 
“ower of the endive. We may explain this result as being a 
j case of atavism, the stimulus of the foreign pollen bringing out 
Bee Of the lettuce-like broad-leaved forms, which had shared in 
~~ Patentages from which the curled was evolved.
